This is our Lily "in the jungle" of our back yard. It seems every 48 hours we alternate between Spring and Winter.
The grass and flowers are growing so the greenery in the back yard is getting deep.
Kjell says Lily thinks we should get out the lawn mower. Cute.

We hit the jackpot for dinner last night. Catherine brought us single Cob Salads last night. Kjell made pan fried garlic and sea salt shrimp.
It was the very best of the best!
We can do this one again!
The weather feels like summer this week so summer salads are just perfect!
What's your favorite summer dinner?
All the best,
Lois
Today's image is courtesy of Kjell. He took the girls (Lily, left, and Elsa) out to enjoy the beautiful weather and they went exploring under the old oak tree.
They have been having a great time digging it all out for the past few years.
Winne the Pooh comes to mind....

These sell out fast, so I'm back on a roll making baby blankets and matching toys. This baby blanket will have a matching doll toy. These make lovely gifts! When finished, it'll be in the shop.
We have nearly 300 other items in the shop now that are ready to ship.

This is breakfast-type food that can be served at any time of the day. This is another Kjell meal so keep in mind he grew up in Norway where high calorie and high fat meals kept the cold away.
This was quite tasty so was worth a few extra calories. It's potatoes and carrots mashed with butter and served with white sauce with herbs from our garden. Of course, that's bacon. Good, thick bacon, I must add!
We don't always eat like this. The day before our dinner was chicken, salad, and green beans all prepared by me.

We have had some beautiful weather in Ohio this week.
It was perfect weather to enjoy a glass of wine on the patio.
I hope all is well wherever you are.
All the best,
Lois
We had this Norwegian-type snack of shrimp boiled in salt water on bread with mayonnaise.
Yes, it's delicious! It reminds me of when we bought shrimp on the dockside in Oslo and sat on a park bench to eat it. We had plenty of competition from the sea gulls trying to steal our shrimp!
Happy Spring!
Lois
